یہ طریقہ نہایت قابل مذمت ہیں۔
پولیس یا تو جرمانہ کرے یاچلان اس طرح کا پولیس کاوڈیو بناکراپلوڈکرنا انسانی توہین کے زمرے میں آتااور تشدد کےبھی۔@DC_abbottabad @DpoAbbottabad @MahmoodCMkpk @MushtaqGhaniPTI #CoronaLockdown #abbottabad #mansehra @dcmansehra @MansehraO pic.twitter.com/mU2Mk2Oe9q— CMoHazara (@CmHazara) March 29, 2020
The following video was tweeted by a twitter handle ‘CMoHazara’ on 29th March and the twitter account of Mansehra police replied to this tweet saying-
DIG hazara or DPO mansehra ny already is waqiya ka notice b liya hy…or ainda sy kisi b thany main is tarha ki punishment dainy sy baz rehny ka b kaha hy…enquiry ho rage hy jald ap ko agaa karen gy
— Mansehra Police Official (@MansehraO) March 30, 2020
Translation- DIG Hazara or DPO Mansehra have noticed this and now on any punishment like this would not be imposed, enquiry is in question and people will be informed shortly about this incident.
A facebook page ‘War Against to Corona Virus’ on 28th March shared the same video with the caption- mansehra police zindabad Section 144 (translation- Hail Mansehra police for section 144)
Hence this video is from Pakistan and is being shared with false claims that it is from Uttar Pradesh.
